Description
This camping box trailer is the Roof Tent Camper Compact 74, supplied with your chosen TentBox roof tent on the adjustable frame. The 7ft x 4ft box underneath gives more storage than the 64 model while staying compact enough for most family cars.
About the Roof Tent Camper Compact 74
A compact and lightweight roof tent trailer built for adventure, the Compact 74 offers solid steel construction with an aerodynamic design. Supplied complete with your chosen TentBox roof tent mounted on the adjustable frame, so it’s ready to camp from the moment you collect it. Prefer to use a tent you already own? Choose “Trailer only without TentBox” from the options above. Rear door access and low profile make it practical for both travel and storage.
Adjustable roof-tent frame: the external frame adjusts length-ways, so it fits a wide range of roof tents — not just one brand.

Why a camping box trailer works so well
Putting the tent on the trailer rather than the car keeps your vehicle free once you’ve set up camp. You park, unhitch, open the tent and you’re done. Below the tent is a secure box for the bulky stuff: cool box, stove, chairs and wet gear. It also means the car doesn’t need roof bars rated for a tent and two adults.
The external roof-tent frame on Apache campers is adjustable lengthways, so it suits a wide range of roof tents, not just one brand. The body sits on a galvanised steel chassis with a phenolic-topped steel floor, and it’s all built to be towed by an ordinary family car.
Great for
- Weekend camping and festivals
- Touring holidays where you move every few days
- Wild camping trips and overland routes on good tracks
- Families who want the car free once they arrive
Spare wheels and wheel brackets are available for every camping box trailer we build.
Choosing your camper setup
Think about how many people are sleeping, how much kit you carry and what your car can tow. Smaller bodies are easier to manoeuvre and store at home; larger bodies swallow more kit. If you already own a roof tent, the without-tent version lets you fit your own. The GOV.UK guide to towing with a car sets out licence and weight rules, and our team can help you match the trailer to your car.
Camping box trailer FAQs
Can I fit my own roof tent to this camping box trailer?
Yes. The frame adjusts lengthways to suit a wide range of roof tents. Tell us which tent you have and we’ll confirm the fit.
How tall is the camping box trailer when towing?
The external heights with and without the tent are listed in the specifications above. Check them against your garage or driveway gate.
Is the storage box lockable?
Yes. The rear opening can be secured, and we recommend a hitch lock and wheel clamp when you’re on site.
